The M on Crisler Arena stands not for MICHIGAN, but MANNY

Michigan hoop fans FINALLY have a real star to go watch and enjoy. Freshman Manny Harris was again spectacular today in a 65-58 loss at Purdue. Harris had 25 points and led a furious Michigan charge in the second half to shave a 14 point Boilermaker lead to 2 points with just under 9 minutes to play but the Wolverines couldn't get any closer than that.

With the loss Michigan dropped to 4-10 overall and 0-2 in the Big Ten. Michigan will host Gene Hackman's #12 ranked Hoosiers on Tuesday. Tipoff at 7pm.

No word on if Dennis Hopper will be listening to the game on the radio from his hospital room.

Harris was fun to watch and offers a glimpse of how exciting this team may be in the future. I thought Simm's 2nd half shooting was great as well. Those two 3 pointers he made back to back really brought the Wolverines into the game. Too bad they couldn't finish it.

I see his presence working out in one of two ways--Best case scenario other top flight players see him and think Michigan is coming back as a program and are more interested in coming to Ann Arbor. OR he could decide the program is nowhere and bolt after his sophomore season.
